Abstract 4136654: Urine Output Response to a Furosemide Infusion is Associated with Acute Kidney Injury in Infants Following Cardiac Surgery

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1, Page A4136654-A4136654, November 12, 2024. Background:Acute kidney injury (AKI) following cardiac surgery in infants is common and associated with longer mechanical ventilation times and length of stay. Prior studies have shown that a lack of responsiveness to bolus dose furosemide has been associated with increased incidence of AKI. However, these studies have excluded patients on continuous furosemide infusions who are often younger, more hemodynamically unstable, and at higher risk for AKI.Hypothesis:Decreased urine output after initiation of a furosemide infusion predicts development of AKI.Methods:A retrospective cohort study of infants (
